Ok, one last thread to end the day...
Today we were shopping for a winter coat. From the beginning, I knew what did I want and this baby came home with me:
(Trust me, it looks much better without a flash and put on me)
But while I was trying it for size at the store, my friend tells me: "
Wait, you are buttoning it on men's style"So far, the first time I notice these things was the first time I put a blouse or woman's shirt and found that the button and buttonhole sides where swapped. That morning I needed several minutes to button it, giving each hand the opposite function on the buttoning process, which was not exactly particularly easy on the first times.
After getting home I checked my last man's blazer (nice waste of 125€, from a time I had an urge for dressing "manlier"), and yup, the side that goes on top of the other is completely opposed. I started looking for coat photos on the net, and damn, never noticed that detail. Although given the fact that I had been fashion blind until my GID explored...
Fun, isn't it? I remember a comic book from more than twenty years ago, in which a detective always found the solution to a case, but never explained it (it was written in small letters at the back of the page). In one of the stories he had to caught a criminal hidden between a lot of people, and after showing a scene with a crowd, he quickly found the criminal disguised as a woman. And the small text on the back page was
"The thief has buttoned the coat as a man would do".
Fun that I did not understand it until today, almost twenty years later. Have you had any similar stories when you started dressing as your real gender?
